MIDWEEK update

Tomorrow we have our first PAT in Math fast facts. 15 questions, 15 minutes. We have been practicing at school. 

Friday is our FLA reading comprehension. We did one together yesterday and will practice one along today. 50 questions in 2 hours, about 8 texts.

Students are working on finishing projects that include:

• skateboard for Math transformations
• municipal gov't problem/solution
• music project/production of the world
• CTF passion project
• ELA novel study
• FLA novel study
• Religion service project (presented today)
• ART abstract artist

Next week we will have a picnic with our grade 3 buddies on Indigenous Day. We are asking students to bring something to sit on outside (pray for sun) and we will share stories and bannick.

The farewell has been amended and will take place after the year end liturgy. It will include the following for students:

• Passing on the torch ceremony to the grade 5's 
• A Power Point presentation of all the photos taken this year. A HUGE thank you to Marie Claire Arieta who took this on for you. There may be an opportunity to purchase a downloaded copy for your souvenirs, TBD
• Ice cream Sunday bar for the kids. Vanilla ice cream and toppings to send them home on a sugar high.
• Souvenir religious bracelets 
• Monday on sports day we are planning to buy the kids pizza for their help in manning the stations for the rest of the students in the school.

If you are a student and you have read this message, see Mme in person to receive a point. You must answer a question based on this BLOG to get your point.

 Weekly update:

Math and Social tests are going home for signatures today. It has taken a while because so many students have been absent and had yet written them. 

We are at chapter 5 in ELA. We are up to chapter 4 in FLA. Students are responsible for keeping up to date on questions and summaries.

Field trip forms due Friday. I have enough volunteers, and will email thoses parents who are coming with us, as soon as I have confimation as to how many I can take.

SKETCHBOOKS due due next day 4...Space

Students wrote the dates of all PAT's in their agendas and should share those dates with you. 

The next 2 weeks are crucial as we will be completing the necessary curriculum material to be able to successfully write the PAT's especially in Math, Social and Science.

In Math: we will finish transformations this week and then students will put their knowledge to the test by designing a skateboard and using the transformations in their design. They will need to describe what transformations they put into place accurately.

SCIENCE: today, students begin a poster of an AB forest tree putting into place all the knowledge they have learned on trees and their characteristics. Next week, we look at forest management. Permission slips for the Field trip are due this Friday.

ES: we are finishing the Federal Gov't this week and how the Constitution came into place. 

Religion: we have completed our Family Life portion of the curriculum and are moving onto how we serve God in the community.

ELA: we continue with Shadows of Disaster

FLA: the novel studies are coming along, but some students may need to reread chapters as the discussions of what they understood are limited to a few students...are you not reading? or are you not understanding? Mme needs to know.

Celebration for recipients of the Sacraments is this Thursday @1pm. If you are able, please join us if your child received a sacrament. 

 Update:

If you have been sick, you are responsible for checking GC and your Gmail for assignments and what you have missed. You will write your missed tests the day you return. We have very little time left and all assignments and exams need to be accounted for.
